Nice catch Kepler!!!

[Mill1634]

Max!!!

 

Wow, that is some range. 

[Mr. Brooks]

They didn't count the run? So we had runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs and didn't score? That's embarrassingly bad.

 

Terrible managing with sending Buxton to third

In what possible scenario would that be a managerial decision?

[Aggies7]

Good sequence of events here these last 5 minutes

[notoriousgod71]

Wasn't Laudner hyping up Gallo's defense yesterday??

Laudner has said more stupid things than jack, bert, and morneau combined. He is not quite within shouting distance of dick, however.

[stringer bell]

 

How to lose a game in two scenes starring the twins. Embarrassing

Can't blame Sanó for running on contact. One pitch later, we had faster runners on second and third. Unfortunately, Buxton made a large mistake when the Twins had a certain run.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Smeltz doing his part. Offense needs to make us forget about their last time up.

[MNT1996]

 

Managing? He made that decision himself. 

 

Players shouldn't be making calls like that themselves all the time. Managers should override those decisions and tell Buxton to not try to tag.

Not a fan of Laudner, whether in the booth or the studio. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Pleez fsn  no more Laudner

You want Rocco to go out there and stop him or what? Pretty sure all players, especially Buxton, have the Green Light on base running decisions.

[MNT1996]

They have these things called 3rd base coaches that relay signs to the baserunners.

I hope that is sarcasm! Otherwise, all the teams need a second base coach.

[mrtwinsfan]

Looking forward to the futures game at 6pm  mlb network,  we got 2 twins in it!

[Mill1634]

Great outing from Smeltzer

[operation mindcrime]

Helter Smeltzer did a good job!!!

[Mill1634]

 

They have these things called 3rd base coaches that relay signs to the baserunners.

The manager isn't giving a sign to the third base coach from the time the ball is hit to the time whoever catches the ball whether to tag up or not. Step away from the key board man. You're being illogical. 

[Aggies7]

I guess the Indians are just never going to lose again. Can’t be making boneheaded baserunning errors with them continuing to win every day

[mrtwinsfan]

Good job Smeltzer, i would trust him over Meija as a lefty bullpen arm,  Hear that Rocco ?

Way to double down

Thanks for reminding me! \m/

[operation mindcrime]

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Mill1634]

One of the more exciting strike 'em out, throw 'em outs we've seen all year 

[mrtwinsfan]

Laudner= Shut up

[John Kelsey]

Sano has looked pretty good lately. 

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Sano!!!!

[Aggies7]

Sano has looked pretty good lately.

 

I admit he has as well.

[Aggies7]

How is schoop hitting .260? Must be in non clutch situations

[drock2190]

Sano needs to move up about 2 spots in the batting order if he keeps this up.
